A DEPRAVED KID.
Marion Edwards is a diminutive kid
about as big as a pint of cider and very
nearly the color of a new saddle. He is
as ’innocent and bland-looking as Bret
Harte’s typical chinaman but he is not
so innocent as he looks. He is the kid
who some time ago stole eggs from under
setting hens, sold them for fresh-picked
yard eggs and then went back and
stole the hens. It is presumed that he
sold them for spring chickens but history
is silent on that point. His next exploit
was to steal an accordeon and a watch.
Detective Lorden corraled him and was
compelled to tie him to keep him from
running away, as be is as fleet of foot as
a jack rabbit. Then taking the accordeon
in one hand and holding the string with
the boy attachment in the other the de-
tective moved up the street to the police
station, the observed of all observers.
For .this pleasantry he was fined $1 and
sentenced to one day in jail by the crim-
inal court. Last Thursday he celebrated
his liberty by breaking into a house in
the neighborhood of Twenty-fourth and
H and corralling alot of jewelry. Detective
Lorden requested Officer Fitch to keep a
look out for him, and last night the latter
corralled him at the colored picnic at
Miller’s garden. His case was continued.
There should be a reform school for such
vicious youngsters, a place where their
energies can be directed in proper chan-
nels.

that vicinity. The initials were made by
Lincoln himself, in the presence of J. Q.

Counting the Trade Dollars.
Treasury clerks who count the trade
dollars have to wear buckskin gloves or
get sore fingers. Any sore spot on the
finger is soon poisoned by contact with
the metal. People who sigh to ®onnt

Difficulties of Science.
Even the most learned men, from the
humble one shirted savant to the great
scientists among the crowned heads and
cracked heads, have never been able to
tell what causes the wonderful northern
fights, yet to solve that great problem is
a mere bagatelle when compared to the
task of prescribing a formula that will
cause the mild rabbit of Kansas to eschew
the succulent bark of the young and
tender apple tree.—St. Paul Herald.

Josh. Billings’ First Lecture Tour.
When Josh Billings started out on his
first lecturing tour he began with a small
New Jersey town and had just six people
for an audience. He wrapped up his man-
uscript after the lecture, told the hotel
man that he was going back to New York
and go to work and not untie that package
until he could come back to that town and
speak - to an audience that would fill the
house? He went back to the city and
struck a new lead. Some years after he
was invited to that town and found an
immense audience. When he came on the
stage he began to untie his package, tell-
ing the story as he went along, and then
delivered his original lecture. He said
this shutting out the past and beginning
over again was the secret of success.—In-
dianapolis Journal.
How the Snow Drifts.
An eastern scientist wants to know why
it is that along railroads and the high-
ways the snow always drifts from th©
high places and into the depressions, while
in lumber yards it drifts out of the de-
pressions and’ accumulates upon tops of
lumber piles.—Chicago Times.

Maj. Jimmy Bass’ Prowess.
In ‘The Century “Uncle Remus” tells
and Kemble illustrates a story of southern
life, whose scene is laid, at the beginning
of and during the war. One of the char-
acters is Maj. Jimmy Bass, who is apt to
get excited and once had ‘ ‘cussed out the
town.” The following bit gives a pen-
picture of the major’s remarkable cam-
paigns at Perdue’s corner: “Sometimes
between dozes he would make his way to
Perdue’s corner and discuss the various
campaigns. How many desperate cam-
paigns were fought on that corner! All
the older citizens, who found it convenient
or necessary to stay at home, had in them
the instincts and emotions of great com-
manders. They knew how defeat could
be wrung from victory, and how success
could be made more overwhelming. At
Perdue’s corner Washington city was
taken not less than a dozen times a week,
and occasionally both New York and Bos-
ton were captured and sacked. Of all the
generals who fought their battle's at the
corner Maj. Jimmy Bass was the most
energetic, the most daring and the most
skillful. As a strategist he had no supe-
rior. He had a way of illustrating the
feasibility of his plans by drawing them in
the sand with his cane. Fat as he was,
the major had a way of ‘surrounding’ the
enemy so that no avenue was left for his
escape. At Perdue’s corner he captured
Scott anef McClellan and Joe Hooker and
John Pope and held their entire forces as
prisoners of war.”—Exchange.

What a Cemetery Superintendent Says-*
Grief at Funerals.
“Graves and grave digging is not a
cheerful topic,” remarked Mr. Salway.
the superintendent of Spring Grove ceme-
tery, “but I am willing to impart any in-
formation desired. ’ ’
“How many styles of graves are there
in this cemetery?
“Three. The plain grave, where no box
is used and the coffin is covered up with
earth; the box grave, in which a pine box
incloses the casket, and the brick grave.
Of these the box grave is used in about 65
per cent, of the burials, the plain in 15
per cent, and the brick in 30 per cent. It
is very horrifying to most people to put
their dead right in the earth, but that is
only a foolish"sentimentality. The sooner
the body returns to dust the better. It is
a popular error that bodies are eaten by
worms after being buried. That is another
error, for the worms that would feed on
human flesh do not exist two feet below
the’ surface. I can’t see any use in pre-
serving bodies, but the wishes of lot hold-
ers are, of course, respected in every in-
stance. The graves are all six feet deep,
and there is considerable knack required
in digging them. Some days we open as
high as a dozen, and, again, there will,
only be two or three. ’ ’
Many heaps of dirt dotted the cemetery
at intervals, and the information was
given that ten bodies would be buried
from the vault the next day without
counting those which would be interred
by regular funerals.
“I suppose you witness some very har-
rowing scenes sometimes?” was suggested
to Mr. Salway.
‘ ‘Yes indeed, but we must attend to our
business just the same. The grave diggers
are not callous to human grief. The sex-
ton has told me that he often turns his
head away on account of the dreadful
agony of some daughter or wife. Occa-
sionally a frantic relative of the dead
attempts to jump in the grave, but that
is a rare occurrence. Women frequently
faint at the side of the grave.”
Mr. Salway thinks that in midwinter
bodies ought to be buried at once. When
spring opens there is a good deal to do in
improving the grounds, and then there is
a rush of friends to inter the dead. The
public vault one month ago contained con-
siderably more than 100 corpses, with the
caskets covered with floral offerings which
have now all withered as did the life of
the silent form within the sealed recep*
taele. In some of the cemeteries in Europe
the caskets are piled up by the hundreds
in vaults and allowed to remain. Parti-
cularly is this the case in Gias Nevin ceme-
tery, Dublin, where the caskets have
been accumulating for years. In Spring
Cove, the dead placed in private vaults
must be hermetically sealed.—Cincinnati
Enquirer.
Bonner’s First Trotting Horse.
It is not generally known that Robert
Bonner, the owner of Dexter, Maud S.
and other famous trotters owes his love of
horses to ill health. His first purchase of
a trotter was made in this city. The ani-
mal he bought from the late Sim Hoag-
land was a flyer well known under the
name of Flatbush Maid. From his early
manhood Mr. Bonner had been a sufferer
from dyspepsia ’and had tried many reme-
dies in vain, including several ocean voy-
ages. His doctor, as a last resource, told
him to drive a trotting horse that would
pull well on the lines. At that time Mr.
Bonner did not own a horse and cared
little for driving. He hired one, however,
an animal With unyielding jaws, and was
greatly benefited by the exercise afforded
him by his efforts to hold the horse back.
Then he determined to buy, the Flatbush
Maid falling into his possession. In a
short time his trouble left him entirely
and he conceived a fondness for horses,
which led him to the establishment of the
fine stable he now has.—Brooklyn Eagle.
Advertisers should remember that letters di-
rected to initals only are not delivered through
the postoffice. If initials are used they should be
directed to the care of some person, firm or post-
office box or may be left at The Tribune office
until called for.
Ten Per Cent, a Month.
One of the auditors of the treasury de-
partment, who had rented a house in a
fashionable quarter of Washington, was
surprised to discover, when the end of the
month rolled around, that his landlord
was none other than one of the messen-
gers in his bureau. Further inquiry de-
veloped the fact that the latter had been
loaning money through the department to
impecunious clerks and others, extorting
in return an interest of 10 per cent, a
month. . The ex-messenger claims to have
kept $10,000 in constant circulation,
which, deducting losses, netted him a
profit of about $8,000 a year.—Frank
Leslie’s.

JAMES S. CARK, MAX NAUMANN,
General Passenger Agent Ticket Agent,
At an early hour this morning a stran-
ger in the city giving his name as Ed.
Burk was arrested by Officer Smith on
a charge of “pistol toting.” It seems
that Burk went to the house of a colored
family and rapped and when the lord of
the castle appeared at the door he was
frighted almost into convulsion by Burk
shoving a big six-shooter into his face.
Burk was obstreperous when taken to the
stotion but Office^ Drndull and others who
succeeded in persuading him not to pitch
the town into the gulf. While Burk
was roasting in the bull pen waiting for
the mills of the gods to begin revolving
Detective Lordan received a letter from
Officer Dan Scanlan of Houston asking
him to look out for a Frenchman named
LouisRuze,wanted for burglary and theft.
Lordan and Williamson looked the inmates
of the bull pen over and notwithstanding
Burk had shaved his moustache off and
had his hair closely cropped they recog-
nized him a=> the man wanted. The
Houston authorities were notified that
the Frenchman was here sailing under
the Irish fiag, and he is now held await-
ing the arrival of an officer from that city.
THE OTHER,
Nelson Chatman, is a heavy set colored
man about 5 feet 5 inches in height, with
a crooked left eye and a pockmarked
face. Nelson is a stranger in a strange
land but this did not prevent his becom-
ing an uninvited caller at the residence
of Mr. Henry Muller, on avenue L, be-
tween Seventeenth and Eighteenth streets.
He went there in the afternoon and dur-
ing the absence of the family, broke into
the house and appropriated all the port-
able property of value that he could con-
veniently carry off. Detectives William-
son and Lorden recovered two neck chains
and a pair of bracelets where he had
soaked them, also about 100 feet of hose
which he had purloined from another
place. The broker, Mr. Harris, was re-
quested to turn him over to an officer on
sight, and last night ho pointed him out
to officer Ravey, who proceeded to
gather him in. He is evidently a bad,
bad man, and is probably wanted at
other points in the state.
REMARKABLE.
One man, well-known in the city, rup
tured five years and measuring seventeen
inches round, was relieved at once by Dr.
Davis. Many others are under his treat-
ment who are. well pleased. Call to see
him at once this week. *

“Down in Sandwich Town,” full of rem-
iniscences of Daniel Webster and the

opening of the new serial by Charles
Egbert Craddock: “The Story of the
Keedon Bluffs” was designed for five
numbers, but it has been resolved to
giye the story entire in five or
six numbers, consequently fourteen
pages are devoted to it in this
issue, the most bewitching of
little girls, “Rosamoi^dy,” makes her en-
trance, and a pair of striking figures
stand out already — two soldiers in the
civil war, the deserter and the blind ar-
tilleryman. Mrs. Mollie Moore Davis in
her “La Blanche” story, “A New Dog,”
gives a graphic picture of a great crevasse
in war times, when only the women and
negroes of the plantation were left to
fight the wild muddy waters, and bears
and raccoons and alligators made them-
selves at home in the houses, and all
went to and fro in boats. Miss Guiney
in her “Fairy Folk All” writes of little
“Water-People,” Grace Denio Litchfield
writes an account of her experience at
Mentone in the late earthquake; Mrs. Par-
sons in ‘Patty’s Cabbages’ tells a true story
of the Western grasshopper plague and
how a little girl began her fortune; Mr.

an equally rapid decline in their progeny.
It is the exception to find an able son, o
an able father. There is something
evenness about the old families of I _ance
that is much more remarkable than any-
thing else in their history. The sons of
the old nobility in Franco have displayed
through many successive . generations an
evenness of capacity and ability which is
much better for the country than bril-
liancy. You find them men of fair ability
through many generations.”—New York

A Trick in Billiards.
Place a ball from the center of the side
cushion just far enough out to prevent
any ball from passing behind it without
touching it. Then bet with any one who
happens to be around, and who doesn’t
know the trick, that you can shoot a ball
behind the one near the cushion without
moving it. It looks impossible, and you
can generally get all the bets you want
that you can’t make it. It is, however, a
very simple thing to do. By shooting at
tjie cushion just as hard as you can, just
behind the ball, you can do the trick
almost every time. The cushion being of
rubber, when hit hard will always give.
The force of the ball against the cushion
will dent the latter in sufficiently to admit
the ivory to pass without touching the
other ball.—Globe-Democrat.

A BRAZEN ACT.
About 11 o’clock last night as a couple
of young ladies living in the vicinity of
avenue P and Nineteenth street were
about retiring for the night they heard a
noise at the window and thinking it was
their brother trying to frighten them
paid no further attention to it. Looking
up they discovered a man at the window
which was some ten or twelve feet from
the .ground, coolly surveying the room.
They called their brother but the brute
escaped. The ladies say that they will
recognize him if they should see him
again, in which case he will be promptly
pumped so full of lead that he will not
be able to repeat the peeping Tom act.
